naval academy

Shot in the dark here. I'm active duty navy stationed at the Naval Academy. I'm looking to up my pistol and rifle quals. Are enlisted sailors allowed on the NSA range to do that? Or is it strictly mids only? I've heard yes and no from various sources so I'm looking for some clarity. If not...

I just wanted some insight - I'm from VA - 11 and I've received a Letter of Assurance in mid-December (non-athlete). Although I have received a nomination from Gerry Connolly for West Point, I was not able to receive one from neither of the Senators. I got my Letter of Assurance pretty late...

A little over a week ago I received emails, phone calls, and letters from both of my congressmen that nominated me saying I was receiving an appointment to the Naval Academy. A few days after that I got the official email from the school and have already accepted the offer. However, I have not...

Hello everyone, I am in an interesting situation in which I am unsure of the results of the decisions that need to be made. Let me start by explaining the situation in a simple manner: In my 10th grade HS year, I decided I wanted to apply for the Naval Academy. I was perfectly eligible, and I...

Recently, I received notice that I was medically disqualified because of "Anisometropia" (vision is much stronger in one eye than the other, though no lazy eye), though my vision is still correctable to 20/20. Strangely, I was qualified for the Air Force Academy, despite this. Are the chances...

Hi all, Was looking for a better place to put this but couldn't find it. If, besides USNA, I'm looking at a civilian school that does not offer a NROTC program, my only option if I still want to be a naval officer is to go to OCS (I hope I am not misinformed here). So I have a few quick...

I'm a current mid in the class of 2020. To make an extremely long story short, after a surgery in January this year I was diagnosed with a complex, chronic pain condition. I spent most of my spring semester in Walter Reed undergoing treatments and hospital stays, attending only 40 days of class...

Hi, I took the CFA when I was at the Naval Academy summer seminar, and I passed according to my knowledge. I recently took the CFA again, hoping to improve my pushup and situp scores. My original CFA test that I took at NASS was submitted into my application. My new score was recently added and...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone on these forums is/was on the varsity swim team at the Naval Academy, or if you know someone that is/has been on the team. I'm just wondering if anyone knows how many people walk on the swim team each year, and how many people try out for sports (If I'm...

I have an urgent issue that I'm hoping you all could help me out with. I'm entering my senior year of high school, and I am a candidate for the Naval Academy. I have been reading recently that most candidates do not receive offers of appointment until January, and it is not uncommon to not hear...

My name is Cody and I am 17 going into my senior year at a private college prep school. I struggled with some personal issues these past couple years and as a result my grades suffered. As of now, I have a 2.7 ( 3.0 in a public school) and play baseball, involved in 4 clubs, and am now starting...

I was accepted to Summer Seminar, and run cross-country for my school, I am pretty serious about it, and at USNASS do we have ample time to train for sports, I am sure I will be tired from the day's PT and such, but would still like to get a short run in every day.

Hey, I was wondering what I should do. My family is friends with An Admiral in the U.S. Navy, and I really want to go to the Naval Academy. During my interview should I mention that I am friends with him should I put it on my application, and should I ask him if he has any advice on getting into...

Hi, My middle school years are almost over and my grade recently had a presentation about careers a few months back. The military wasn't mentioned but I think it might fit me. I am a very smart kid as I get mainly A's and I am also very athletic as I play soccer and I enjoy running so I'll be...
